Voodoo for Louisa

At the moment my friend Louisa is back in Australia for her friends wedding. This girl from Oz is a lively, young, happy, smart girl I'm happy to call my friend. I'm missing her loads. So I thought to upload the gift I made her last month. Fingerless gloves.


Dreamy girl with fingerless gloves...

People that read my blog might recognise them. I made a pair of these Chunky Fingerless Gloves for myself a few weeks ago. I had enough yarn left over to make a set for Louisa. And she mentioned she really liked them. So off I went again to knit yet another fingerless gloves set. :D

Lousia has smaller hands so I adjusted the top half of the glove as the wrist bit was fine.


A look at the front and back...

Pattern (free): Voodoo Wrist Warmers
Yarn: Debbie Bliss SoHo (colour 16), about 2 skeins depending on how long you make the wrist bit.
Needles: 5.5 mm (US 9)

work on circular needles CO: 32, work in k2, p2 for 13.5 cm (5.5 inch). Stop knitting when at the beginning of a new round. Put 12 sts on needle holder. Continue knitting the round without those twelve stiches and work in pattern for 5.5 cm (2 inch) and cast off.

Put the 12 thumb stitches from stitch holder back on needles. Rejoin yarn and work in pattern (k2,p2) in the round for 2.5 cm (1 inch). Cast off 12 sts. Work in ends and close any holes that appear.

Louisa is very happy with them :) hooray!
